Religions Vs LOGIC

In the twentieth century there were (and still are) people who called themselves CREATIONISTS, because they did NOT believe in EVOLUTION.

Considering that most youngsters can (and do) set up terrariums and aquariums which, once set up can exist happily with no further interference on the part of the maker, it would be a very limited “creator” that could not make a world that could run itself without further interference!  It seems only natural that any deity capable of constructing a planet with Ice ages and Global warming, could also make its creatures capable of adapting to their world.  That is all EVOLUTION IS…ADAPATION TO CHANGES IN ENVIRONMENT.  Growing & Developing!

With the planet set up properly the creator could get on with the rest of the job.  Other planets, stars, etc.

This theory is not only sensible but it answers the question so often heard.

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUCH BAD THING TO HAPPEN?

ANSWER:  We were given everything needed to exist on this world.  It is up to us to use our god-given BRAINS to solve our problems.  No the SPIRIT has NOT deserted us.  It exists in our CONSCIENCE, and our MINDS.

There is a clue to creator’s plans for us in the section of the bible where Adam and Eve are evicted from the garden…God says to the Angels that man must not be allowed to eat of the TREE KNOWLEDGE “lest HE should BECOME AS ONE OF US knowing good from evil!”  So it seems that we were eventually intended to grow wiser than we are!  No, this was NOT a punishment…you would not give a loaded gun to a baby…it has to develop to the point where it can use power.  So must we.

Today we all need to re-think the old saying “I think therefore I am” we SHOULD say…..I AM, THEREFORE IF I THINK……..
